About the CCMRV Hub
The CCMRV Hub was established by GHGMI under a 5-year grant from the German Government’s International Climate Initiative (IKI) and in partnership with the UNFCCC Secretariat’s Regional Collaboration Center for the Caribbean and the Windward Islands Research and Education Foundation. The CCMRV Hub was created to support 12 English speaking countries in the Caribbean in designing and operating MRV systems capable of meeting domestic policy making needs and international reporting requirements. Guided by a Steering Committee composed of experts from across the Caribbean, including officers from national governments and staff from regional organizations, the CCMRV Hub employs a country-driven approach that pools expertise from participating countries. Together they develop MRV systems, tools, and guidance documents that help ensure high quality outputs that help countries meet their UNFCCC and Paris Agreement obligations, including reporting on greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories and mitigation reporting.
Now in its 7th year, the CCMRV Hub has become a non-profit organization under Grenadian law and employs 4 full-time staff members. The CCMRV Hub works with 12 English-speaking CARICOM countries: Antigua & Barbuda, the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, St. Kitts & Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, and Trinidad & Tobago.
